The Place That I Love Is Dayton©2009                    Marsh Brodeur

A tourism piece written for the town of Dayton NV.

Come and let me tell you ‘bout the place that I live
Cuz the place that I live is Dayton.
A High Desert slice of paradise
‘neath a blue Nevada sky.

Come and let me tell you ‘bout the place that I love
Cuz the place that I love is Dayton.
Where the mountain moon will make you swoon
To its ancient lullaby.

And you’ll dream about our days of old
When the Dayton streets were paved with gold
And all our pride and glory showed
Milling all that silver and gold
from the Comstock lode

Come and let me show you ‘round the place that I live
Cuz the place that I live is Dayton
Where the rainbow ends the Carson River bends
To try to catch it all.

Let me introduce you to the people I love
To the people I love in Dayton
Where Clarke Gable would show Marilyn Monroe
A good time at the Odion Hall.

You can learn about our history
at our very own museum
And we are so proud of our misfits
That we often charge admission Just to see ‘em

Come on out and see us and the land that we love
In the town that we love called Dayton.
See all our ranches and farms
Cuz with open arms they’d like to welcome you

Come on out and see us and the land that we love
In the town that we love called Dayton
Cuz we know you
Are gonna love Dayton too.
